Thanks to a Twitter post by @kejames, a scientist I follow, who posted this link to information for those who wanted to help with the Ebola situation in West Africa:
http://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/9/11/6131535/Ebola-outbreak-donate-charities-stopIt includes a link to this list of known, reliable, already-working-in-the-area organizations who have Ebola-related relief efforts ongoing in West Africa. Links for online or mailed-in donations are given for each. The website links explain each organization's range of activity.
